To mark the occasion of its 10-year anniversary, the Japan Foundation has recently updated its “Japanese Design Today 100” exhibition, which has traveled the world since 2004, with a new lineup of objects.
Starting in Los Angeles in the US, Japanese products will once again travel around the world in this exhibition. This exhibition consists of 89 objects created since 2010, as well as 11 objects that represent the origin of Japanese post-war modern product design for a total of 100 objects. The product are displayed in the following 10 different categories: Classic Japanese Design, Furniture & Housewares, Tableware & Cookware, Apparel & Accessories, Children, Stationery, Hobbies, Healthcare, Disaster Relief, and Transportation.
Our Hiroshima Folding Chair has been selected as one of the excellent product created after 2010.
We are extremely proud that this chair will be seen by many people all across the world.
